A quick reminder to you guys who are new to the show.

This version of the Marriage Be Hard podcast is going to extend beyond married couples only.

I know when we first wrote the book it was only married couples, but now we want to have

conversations surrounding marriage, that we married people, single people, divorce people, experts, people who haven't been married.

We just, we ain't gonna be able to get 52 episodes a year, only talking to married people.

And also there's other things that people who are not married have to offer to the conversations

around love and marriage so that's why Leavon relationships and relationships that's

why Leavon Briggs is here.

Leavon can you introduce yourself to the people for people who may not know you

just yet? Yes so my name name is Levine Briggs. I am a Joyfinder and a Queen's girl and an Emmy Award winner.

So what you need to know about me?

I am a black woman spiritual leader who is no longer at war with her body. I love to turn up. I love to be righteous. I love to be ratchet.

And I'm doing that through showing up in the world as a pastor, a preacher, an author, and a creator.

So I love that too. You've said... a preacher and author and a creator.

So I love that too and you've said that before I can tell.

Yes. Now the phrase no longer at war with her body.
